How to Achieve Spiritual Goals

Summary

Have you ever set a spiritual goal so massive that you felt silly even trying to work towards it? Maybe you feel like Moses standing at the edge of the Red Sea, wondering how on earth you are going to take the next step. In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson and advisory board member Amy Johnson answer the critical question: How to achieve spiritual goals that are bigger than your own capacity.

We move from the vision of goals to the victory of goals by exploring the "Magnification Principle"—how God takes your "pony-sized" effort and turns it into "Clydesdale-sized" momentum. Amy shares a powerful story about winning a hairdryer that illustrates the biblical truth that "what you think about, you bring about." We also discuss how to yoke yourself to the Savior (who specializes in the impossible), why being "unequally yoked" with Him is actually your greatest advantage, and the touching story of how angels—both earthly and heavenly—carry us when we can't walk on our own. Plus, discover the "Light List" strategy to cast out the adversary when weariness sets in. Tune in to learn how to stop striving and start surrendering to the Light!

Episode Takeaways

1. The Magnification Principle: Jesus acts as a magnifying glass. When you place your small, imperfect efforts in His hands, He magnifies them into something far greater than you could achieve on your own.
2. Help Thou My Unbelief: Sometimes we don't need more faith; we just need help with our unbelief. Like the father in Mark 9, admitting "I'm too little for this" is the first step to receiving God's power.
3. Unequally Yoked Advantage: Tamara describes feeling like a small pony yoked to a Clydesdale (Jesus). While we are unequally yoked in strength, that is the point—He carries the weight so we can move forward.
4. The Light List: When the adversary attacks with weariness or doubt, don't focus on the darkness. Create a pre-planned "Light List" (e.g., singing, being outside, coloring) to immediately turn your focus back to God and invite angels in.
